Napalm Def w/ Bagelface - Tigers [Hirntrust Grind Media 035]

Coming up next from Austria's ever active Hirntrust Grind Media-camp is another crack-driven exploration of the dark realms of DeathRap, this time provided by the sonic executors known in the US under the name of Napalm Def featuring their hometown homie Bagelface. Referring to the early days of MutantHipHop with a sparse, grinding foundation of blurred, washed out beats ever pounding like the heart beat of a force clearly evil they lay down their verses in a pitched down, 'marish, post crime'ish manner that seems to be recorded live at their local opium den. But still - this is straight up Philly street sound and the everyday soundtrack of live in a run down city. Illest shit.
